Rivers founded the Rivers Hardware Store in Lake Butler during this early period, about 1880 and continued in operation until it burned in 1985. Rivers attained fame by manufacturing his own invention, the Rivers "double stock" plow, which was popularly used all over Florida and the South. The business was passed on to C.F. Rivers and then to Wilson Rivers.  During those years, he was a volunteer fireman and member of the city council. In his boyhood years, Wilson would work in his father's grist mill (grits) and blacksmith shop. WWII ended while he was serving in the Philippines as 1st Lieutenant, Infantry Division, and he was re-assigned as hospital administrator, first at station hospital on Letey Island and then in the same capacity at Clark Field, Luzon, north of Manila. There, he met his wife, Sophia (Sue) Warenda, a nurse from Middletown, CT, who was also serving as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Nursing Corp. Wilson purchased his dads farm in 1947, and owned nearly half the county up into Worthington Springs, and sold all but 200 of the 2,300 acres in 2011. Wilson & Sue moved over to Gainesville, FL.
